Middle Men Gets A Supporting Cast

Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi are already signed up to star in indie drama Middle Men, but now they've got a supporting cast to join them - and how. James Caan, The Spirit's Gabriel Macht, Peter Stormare and Rachael Taylor (Transformers) have joined the film, which is the story of the birth of the internet porn industry.

The story centres on a straight, sensible businessman who builds the first online billing company to deal with adult entertainment and "finds himself in a whirlwind of starlets, conmen, Russian mobsters, Federal Agents and terrorists". Poor guy - all he wanted to do was make money by exploiting sex.

The director is George Gallo, best-known as the writer of the Bad Boys films, and he also wrote the script along with Andy Weiss, who until now was a writer on Punk'd. The film has secured a waiver from SAG in case of a strike, so shooting starts in Phoenix this month. Let's hope it turns out like Boogie Nights and not like A Night In Paris, eh?
